Sponge Battle With Chalk Targets

Two buckets, four kitchen sponges and a chalk target on the fence — soaked in three minutes and laughing for half an hour. Points are only scored on the target, never on a face.

What you need

  • Four kitchen sponges
  • Two buckets of water
  • Chalk
  • Old clothes that can get soaked
  • Hats — wet skin burns faster, not slower

How to play

  1. Chalk two big targets on a fence or a wall that water will not harm.
  2. Fill both buckets and put a pair of sponges in each.
  3. Agree on the rules first: throws go at the target only, never at anyone's head.
  4. Soak a sponge, squeeze it once and throw from behind an agreed line.
  5. Count the wet marks on your own target after every five throws.
  6. Finish with a free round where everyone may chase everyone with a wet sponge.
